I have just polished and rebuilt the 2 fuel taps for the r90s and was wondering where to place the fibre washer/s. It has a large internal filter on top of the petlock. I have assembled them temporarily with 2. That is one between the petlock and the filter and one between the filter and the tank . However there seems to be a bit too much thread showing . It is 3 years since I took them apart and at my age - well Any advice please.

It goes inside the big nut to seal the tap with the tank.
So is that slid over the filter and there is no seal between the lower edge of the filter and the petlock ?
 
No, not slid over the gauze filter. It fits into the piece with the 2 unequal length pipes, then the gauze filter goes into the same piece on TOP of the filter (if I remember correctly from when I re-did mine.
 
It’s a petrol tap in English English.
